During INTEX-B (both Milagro and IMPEX phases in Spring 2006) and during the summer TEXAQS-
2006/GOMACCS period, the INTEX Ozonesonde Network Study (IONS-06) coordinated ozonesonde launches
over North America for Aura overpasses. IONS-06 supported aircraft operations and provided profiles for ozone
budgets and pollution transport, satellite validation and evaluation of models. In contrast to IONS-04, IONS-06
had a greater range (all but one 2004 IONS site plus a dozen in California, New Mexico, Mexico City, Barbados
and southwestern Canada), yielding more than 700 profiles. Tropospheric pollution statistics to guide Aura
satellite retrievals and contrasts in UT-LS (upper tropospheric-lower stratospheric) ozone between 2004 and
2006 are presented. With IONS-04 dominated by low-pressure conditions over northeastern North America, UT
ozone originated 25% from the stratosphere [Thompson et al., 2007a,b] with significant amounts from aged or
relatively fresh pollution and lightning [Cooper et al., 2006; Morris et al., 2006]. Both IONS-04 and IONS-06
summer periods displayed a persistent UT ozone maximum [Cooper et al., 2007] over the south-central US.
March 2006 IONS sondes over Mexico manifested persistent UT/LS gravity wave influence and more sporadic
pollution. Regional and seasonal contrasts in IONS-06 ozone distributions are described.
